Did anyone else on here submit a package for the Spring FY16 FTS board?

...The word on the street is that VR is hurting for people since tons of guys have jumped ship now that the airlines are hiring. Any insiders that can confirm or deny that rumor? Wonder if that means there will be more slots available this time around...
VR is hurting for SELRES, not sure about FTS. And I don't think that the airlines hiring now was the biggest motivating factor for folks to jump ship, that they were finally eligible for MOB's now was likely the biggest.
...even FTS guys are leaving, at least according to a couple of VR buds that I talk to.
At this point, it's the airlines. MOBs aren't a "thing" for CNAFR guys now. But yes, even FTS guys are leaving, at least according to a couple of VR buds that I talk to.
...That is too bad about MOB's, some value in spreading the love around to everyone.
That was the rationale behind TSW saying everybody was going to do a mob, which led to the Great RMP Panic of 2012 and dudes leaving for the IRR in droves.
The way I see it, though, guys flying in hardware units are already contributing a lot of time on the road to the company, including no-shit deployments. The Navy deciding that they need to cough up a year in the sandbox on top of that, in some non-flying 'any URL' powerpoint billet, when there are still plenty of Couch Reserve unit dudes who've never gone, seems like an odd policy.
... The airline hiring spree is the main driver behind this and the fact the FTS ain't quite what it used to be.....
You ask "why is that a negative"? It's only a check mark in the con column if you consider that officers, and I'm speaking mainly about reserve air here, don't transition to be part of a new pseudo AC career path.
